Dear TargetProcess,

I've got the basic authentication working from python using your samples (Thank you!)

I've had less luck trying to replicate this behaviour in using access tokens from a script.

In the chrome browser the access tokens work just fine.

Currently when I attempt to connect via urllib2 I get the following error?

Please could you point me in the right direction for making urllib2 to respect the URL correctly?

request = urllib2.Request("https://unmarkedtek.tpondemand.com/api/v1/Projects/2/?access_token=MTp6b******6NS9mMEpqMDBLRkhoVFBWSXZMa2hLMktUYWRzTkNYc3IxYm0wPQ==")

>>> response = urllib2.urlopen(request)

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urllib2.py", line 154, in urlopen

Have you tried ?token= instead of ?access_token= ?

Hello, George.

If issue is still relevant, let's try to find a reason :).

As from https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=errno&sektion=2:

54 ECONNRESET Connection reset by peer. A connection was forcibly closed
             by a peer.  This normally results from a loss of the connection
             on the remote socket due to a timeout or a reboot.

We recently enforce TLS1.2 encryption: https://www.targetprocess.com/blog/2016/03/targetprocess-will-start-enforcing-tls-1-2-encryption/

Since you use urllib2 and raw request in browser works well, let's assume problems with Python 2.7 urllib2 TLS1.2 request handling.

Some free sources warn about urllib2 till Python 3.4 doesn't support TLS1.2:

You can use Python 3.4 and upper, or try to follow this link to add support of TLS1.2 in Python 2.7 (requires build of PyOpenSSL fork https://github.com/enernoc/pyopenssl): https://gist.github.com/thom-nic/6510373
